Singapore Budget Terminal to close for renovations

March 1, 2012 By Budget Airline News

The budget terminal at Singapore’s Changi Airport will soon be shutting down for renovations. The 5 budget airlines currently operating from the budget terminal – Berjaya Air, Firefly, SEair, Cebu Pacific and Tiger Airways – will begin to move to Terminal 2 as early as April 2012.

The construction of the new Budget Terminal is expected to take about 2 years. The current Budget Terminal can handle only 7 million passengers per year, and renovations are necessary to accommodate the growing number of budget airlines operating out of Singapore. Currently, about 28% of all flights from Changi Airport are with budget airlines.

Firefly introduces web check-in

September 12, 2011 By Budget Airline News

Firefly had recently introduced web check-in facility for all domestic routes and flights between Malaysia and Singapore to provide added convenience to passengers. This new facility will allow passengers to check-in from their home, office or from anywhere with an Internet connection and print out their boarding passes.

Firefly’s Head of Marketing & Communications, Angelina Corrina Fernandez, said: “It helps passengers save time at the airport by skipping the check-in queue at the counters. Those with check-in baggage will go straight to a special dedicated counter to drop off their baggage.

“Passengers travelling on domestic flights who do not have check-in baggage can go directly to the boarding gate with their boarding pass and MyKad or their passport for positive identification and then on to their flight. It is that convenient!

“Web check-in can be done as soon as passengers purchase their tickets up to an hour preceding the flight departure. An individual can also web check-in up to nine people at a time provided they are included in one booking.”
